Shaykh Abdul Wali Al Arkani who is also called « Abu Muad » in relation to one of his sons; was born in 1983 in the region of Mislafah in Mecca. He is a well-known Quran reciter and is currently the Imam of Khadem Al Haramein Al-Sharefein mosque in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.

Shaykh Al-Arkani learnt the Quran at the age of 14 first at the hand of his father, then other shaykhs and teachers in different mosques. He then moved to Mecca and was also the student of a number of prominent shaykh such as Shaykh Harun Dahir, the late Shaykh Muhammad Kabir, Shaykh Muhammad Idriss Abbass and others. He is also a friend of Shaykh Ahmed Bin Muhammad Al Shariff; the personal imam of the prince Nawaf Bin Abdul Aziz.

Moreover, he joined the Al Arqam Ibn Abu Al Arqam Institute in the Sacred Mosque (Masjid Al Haram) and graduated in 1997. He performed as an imam for the first time at the age of 13 at the mosque of Shaykh Muhammad Saleh Jamal in Meccah moving to other mosque within the same city before moving to Jeddah.

Given his popularity, Shaykh Al Arkani was invited to perform in different mosques within and outside Saudi Arabia for he was officially invited by the Governor of the Emirate of Ajman from the UAE to perform imamate next to the prominent reciter Mishary Rashid Alafasy.

    First of all I would like to thank to www.assabile.com for such a great collection of Al Quran Al Kreem reciters. It is very good opportunity for us to listen Al Quran from various famous Sheikhs. I like especially Sheikh Abdul Wali Al Arkani the he recite the Al Quran and I am also expecting to upload other remaining surah. I also personally met him at Ajman UAE when he visited here and I saw he has very noble character. May Allah S.W.A reward good health, long life and more success in the future (Ameen).

    First of all, I would like to thank everyone who've participated to build this wonderful Station (Assabile). Abdul Wali Al Arkani is a Qari whom I like since the first day I heard his voice from one of my friends phone, it was after I went to an Internet to search about him, I now founded that, ''Ma Sha'Allaah'' he is fine. Any way ! may Allaah Guide us all on the right path; and make our love for him Alone SUBHAANAHU WATA'AALAAH. Ma Salaam.

  8. Just to say that another voice equal to the voces of high grade imamas of Haram, Suraim, Sudais,Muaqley,Budair, Khaled Qahtani. But the qira't of Arkani is little more melodious, makes the lsteners to stay on listening it. May Allah bless this holy land of Saudi Arabia, which not only the land of Two holi cities of Makkah and Madina but also prdocued lot of such heart touching Qari's. May allah bless all of them in this world and hereafter.

    It just shows how unique Quraan Kareem is..without instrumentation needed to make melodious sounds..at times I wish I could have such voice to please Almighty Allah with his unique quraan we accepted upon us as mankind.

    Another positive thing is the quality of recording of all the Qaries is very clear and good.
    May Allah give jaza-e-khair to people of Assabile.com; Ameen, summa Ameen
